Travelling in West Nusa Tenggara

Driving Etiquette

Unlike driving in the UK that strictly follows the left-hand traffic rule, Indonesia practices right-hand traffic. However, in West Nusa Tenggara, motorbike users outnumber car drivers, so be prepared for a different flow of traffic in comparison to back home. Always remember, patience is key!

Car Rental Tips

Opt for a small-sized car or a 4x4 if you're planning to explore off the beaten track. Larger vehicles might be difficult to manoeuvre in narrow streets. Most UK driving licenses are accepted, just ensure it's accompanied by an International Driving Permit.

Untouched Beauty and Unique Attractions

Lombok

The island boasts some of Indonesia’s best-kept beaches, including the pristine Kuta Beach and the pink-hued Tangsi Beach. Don’t miss Rinjani Mountain – the second highest volcano in Indonesia for an adventurous hike.

Sumbawa

Home to Mount Tambora, the site of the biggest Volcanic eruption in recorded history, Sumbawa offers travellers a taste of adventure in an idyllic setting.

People, Culture and Events

The Sasak people form the majority in this region with a rich culture to explore. Major Islamic festivals such as the Eid and welcoming of the Ramadan are celebrated grandly. Nyale Festival, a colourful traditional event, is a part of the cultural uniqueness that one should not miss when visiting Lombok.

Currency and Exchange

The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It's beneficial to have cash in hand since not all places may accept cards.
